  Dental Coordinators for SHAC
SHAC is a student-run organization that provides free health care to the under served population of the Chapel Hill community.
Coordinating the dental activities at SHAC is a major responsibility according to Sona Isharani, a third year dental student who is a current coordinator at the clinic.
Medical SHAC, located in a community clinic on Lloyd Street in Carrboro, also provides free medical care to the community and is staffed by students from the professional schools such as medicine, nursing, physical therapy, social work, pharmacy, and others.

 Press Action ::: Trial By Fire: The SHAC 7 and the Future of Democracy
SHAC roared onto the historical stage by combining a shrewd knowledge of the law, no-nonsense direct action tactics, and a singular focus on one corporation that represents the evils of the entire vivisection industry.
Additionally, SHAC USA, Jonas, Gazzola, and Conroy were charged with conspiracy to stalk HLS-related employees across state lines, along with three counts of interstate stalking with the intent to induce fear of death or serious injury in their “victims.” All of the charges bring a maximum $250,000 fine each.
The federal indictment against the SHAC 7 is a potential watershed in the history of the animal rights movement, for it represents the boldest governmental attack on activists to date, and it likely augurs a new wave of political repression in response to the growing effectiveness of militant animal liberation politics.

 Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SHAC was started in November 1999 by British animal-rights activists Greg Avery and Heather James after video footage shot covertly inside HLS in 1997 by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) was aired on British television.
SHAC's modus operandi is direct action, comprising intimidation, harassment or even physical attacks against the property of HLS, its employees, its employees' families, its business partners, their business partners, insurers, caterers, cleaners and children's nursery school [9].
SHAC's efforts are susceptible to the problems common to vigilantism, namely that an entirely unconnected person may be targeted or affected.

 SHAC Convictions: The Martyrdom Effect
SHAC activists pursue their targets not only at their places of work, but at their homes, their children’s schools, in restaurants and other public and private locations.
SHAC members are passionately committed to their cause, and past legal injunctions and convictions — such as a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence for member Sarah Gisbourne in Britain — have had more of a martyring than a chilling effect on the group’s campaigns.
Where SHAC differs from these groups — and the seed it is now spreading — is in its far-flung and relentless execution of the tactic, and in the considerable amount of damage it has caused to personal property.

 SHAC
SHAC, the ALF, the ELF, and the ADL are underground, loose-knit "domestic terrorist" groups.
SHAC officially rejects the notion that it has a relationship with the Animal Liberation Front, but considering the new president, that is pretty hard to accept.
In addition, three out of SHAC's four main directors in the U.S. have close associations to crimes claimed by ALF, and that the two keynote speakers at SHAC's December 2002 protest event, Rodney Coronado and Robin Webb are both convicted ALF criminals, no one really believes that there is no connection.

 portland imc - 2004.08.23 - Who is the Legally Defined Terrorist: HLS or SHAC?
SHAC carefully identifies these companies and convinces them that contracting cruel and unscientific animal research will not be profitable for them.[24] By convincing companies that HLS is unprofitable, HLS loses business and moves closer to bankruptcy.
Because SHAC does extensive research in order to prevent HLS from committing terrorist acts, and because SHAC does not disobey the law, it follows that SHAC is a counterterrorist group (as defined by the FBI) working against the criminal actions of HLS.
Because SHAC does not advocate or provoke violence, the campaign cannot legally be held responsible for the actions of anonymous members of the ALF or related organizations.

 SHAC7
Central to the government's case against the SHAC defendants is the accusation that SHAC activists are violent extremists.
The only connection made between the SHAC defendants in the United States and Cass is that Cass worked for the same firm they targeted for protest, but at its UK facility.
HLS general manager Mike Caulfield called the SHAC 7 "extremists" and said the trial is about whether HLS employees "should have to fear for their lives." This is a convenient scare tactic used by a company whose direct financial interests are threatened by the exposure of its practices and are completely unsupported in fact.
